Title: The Problem of Spiritual Dryness (7 of 8)
Series: Living Above
Author: Brad Whitt
Text: Jeremiah 3:3
INTRODUCTION
Take your Bibles this morning and turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 3. If you're a guest this morning, we're in a series of studies on Sunday mornings at Abilene on what's known as "The Victorious Christian Life," which I've entitled "Living Above." These are "lessons for living in victory."
So far in our study -
- We've learned how to overcome what you undergo.
- We've seen what it means to be all in for Jesus.
- We've discovered the power of meditating on the Word of God.
- We've studied how to bring our lost loved ones to Jesus.
- We've found how God comforts us so that we can comfort others.
- Last week, we dug into what it means and how we can be "filled with the Spirit."
- And that brings us to our seventh study in this series, where I want us to deal with a very real, pressing, personal problem that we all face from time to time (and more times than we'd like to admit), and that's "The Problem of Spiritual Dryness."

Hoping to find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little old man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out on it.
The guy asked, "Please, I'm dying of thirst. Can I have some water?"
The old man replied, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie? Here's one that goes nicely with your shirt."
The guy shouted, "I don't want a tie, you idiot! I need water!"
"OK, don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'll tell you that there is a nice restaurant my brother runs over that dune about five miles down. Go over that way; they'll give you all the water you want."
The guy thanked him, walked away towards the dune, and eventually disappeared. Three hours later, the guy crawled back to w ...
